CDPUG BlogSphere

Jeff  Darcy will talk to CDPUG on February 24, 2011 and share his thoughts about the editorial cartoon and the newspaper industry as they’ve changed and adapted from hard copy to the digital age.

For the past 17 years, readers of the Cleveland Plain Dealer have enjoyed editorial cartoons drawn and written by Jeffrey Darcy. A 1982 graduate of St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio, he earned a degree in political science from the University of Dayton. His cartoons have been reprinted in Newsweek, Time, The New York Times, The L.A. Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune; appeared on “Good Morning America,” “Meet the Press,” CNN, and are a regular feature on MSNBC’s cartoon Web page.

My May Show Ignite presentation included a number of slides of photos where I used the Comic Life application on my Mac to put words into the mouths of CDPUG members and myself. The concept seemed to work well, since my presentation got a lot of laughs. And, as I far as I know, y’all were laughing “with” me and not “at” me.

So… I thought it would be amusing to post the same slides used in my presentation on the blog to see what humorous ideas other CDPUG members would come up with. I figured Mark Mindlin would come up with something hilarious and biting. Judith Majher has already submitted the first entry among those that were passed out at the last board meeting. So far, Judith’s entry is the funniest one I’ve read!

Being the perpetual CDPUG arm twister that’s in my DNA, I decided to go one step further and use the activity to assist in meeting attendance. The entry that makes me LOL the loudest will win an iTunes Gift Card. The only catch is that the winner must be present at the Thursday, July 29th CDPUG meeting to receive their prize. I’ll share the best entries at the meeting.

You can download the Comic Strip PDF entry with the link below. Email your completed entry to programming@cdpug.org by midnight on Monday, July 26th. Faxes to 240-536-1089 will also work.

Have fun!
